Abekacompleted this course, spending 10 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.

I find the course quite enriching and in-depth for beginners and professionals alike. Its an eye-opener for procurement professionals to refresh their minds on the rudiments of an everyday procurement activity. Kudos to the team for displaying a First Class Online Program for free! I need more..........

I was so happy to locate this class. The World Bank understands that procurement and contract management are gateways for corruptions, and the damage procurement and contract management has caused globally needs to be addressed. This online course provides contextual learning.

Very interactive course packed with tons of useful practical information. The material mostly focuses on South Asia. The dynamic is high but manageable. Overall, it is a great course. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to get the procurement knowledge.

This course improved my basic knowledge in procurement. These kind of online courses provide a great chance to us since we don't have time to attend classes physically. Thank you very much for providing this kind of opportunity.

The material was relatively simple.

But coming from the World Bank (an organisation that must be seen to remain free from corruption) and focused on countries where corruption is obviously a major challenge, it felt like a completely different perspective.

The material was relatively simple.

The biggest downside was the delivery method - much of it was based on animated characters talking - a method I find condescending, slow and ineffective, with very little in common with most modern online methods. (Seriously, I would suggest the folks who made material do another MOOC themselves, and see what has changed - this was the kind of poor quality delivery methodology businesses used for internal training 20 years ago).

But I commend the World Bank in putting some effort into improving the levels of training in this space with this rather unique offering. I'm not sure I would go into large scale RFPs based solely on this, but it is probably good backgrounder for anyone who is involved for the first time.

The course offers a very clear on point and relevant insight into the procurement realm of business management. The outline is simple, very well arranged and all key principles and tenets of procurement are captured! Best for beginners in procurement.
